Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Hi for your ankle issue, 1st we need to find out, is the cause of your pain.
Do your ankle swells up when u play football?? We need complete evaluation of your ankle. Get your Ra factors done. Get an MRI scan done to look for any ligament injury for muscle strengthening around ankle you need to to do physiotherapy and exercises. Now for your reflex issue, don't have a heavy dinner at night and after dinner; give 2-3 hours gap before you go to bed. You also need to get an upper GI endoscopy done for diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
